Great Gizmos adds area account manager duo

Great Gizmos has strengthened its sales force, appointing two new area account managers.

Emma Swann (pictured) has taken on the role for the South East, covering the NICI, Great Pretenders, Okiedog and Clipix brands, while Kerry Roy will handle the NICI brand in the North.

Meanwhile, Walter Cummins will add the NICI property to his portfolio in Ireland.

Swann previously worked at Great Gizmos in customer services, while Roy has been with the team since February and has previously worked in sales at Britax.
